Throughout the house, there are many retained period features including fireplaces, deep windows, timber detailing and generous room proportions, all combining to create a warm and characterful interior.

The kitchen is well-positioned for everyday family living and offers ample space for informal dining, with direct access to the gardens.

The layout allows for privacy between family and guest areas, making the house equally well suited to entertaining or multi generational living.

Outside, the grounds are a particular feature of the property. Formal lawns, mature planting, stone retaining walls and established shrubs blend seamlessly into the surrounding woodland, creating a number of attractive seating areas overlooking Farnham Golf Course. The setting offers a strong connection to nature, with uninterrupted views and an abundance of wildlife, while still maintaining a sense of structure and privacy around the house. Within the grounds is a private tennis court, discreetly positioned and providing an excellent recreational facility that further enhances the lifestyle appeal of this exceptional country home.
